Trump Says He’ll ‘Work Something Out’ For DREAMers

President-elect Donald Trump says that he’s going to try to “work something out” for illegal aliens who were granted amnesty through President Obama’s 2012 immigration executive action, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

In an interview with Time magazine, Trump said that he still plans to overturn the executive action, which provided DACA beneficiaries, who are called DREAMers, with work permits and protected them from deportation.

“We’re going to work something out that’s going to make people happy and proud,” Trump told Time for its “Person of the Year” issue. The real estate billionaire received the top honor.

“They got brought here at a very young age, they’ve worked here, they’ve gone to school here. Some were good students. Some have wonderful jobs. And they’re in never-never land because they don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Trump did not elaborate on how he plans to overturn Obama’s action while allowing DREAMers — which are nearly 750,000 in number — to stay in the U.S. And he may face resistance within his own administration.

Trump’s choice for attorney general is Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, an immigration hardliner who has steadfastly opposed DACA and a 2014 Obama executive action which seeks to grant amnesty to illegal aliens who are parents of American citizens or lawful permanent residents.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is also said to be a top contender for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Like Sessions, Kobach has been a vocal opponent of granting amnesty to illegal aliens.

Trump has offered imprecise views on the DREAMer issue before.

“The DREAMers, it’s a tough situation. One of the things is we’re going to expedite — when someone’s terrific, we want them back here. But they have to be legal,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash in an interview last year.

Asked then whether DREAMers should be deported, Trump responded, “They’re with their parents, it depends. Look, it sounds cold. It sounds hard. We have a country. Our country is going to hell. We have to have a system where people are legally in our country.”

A bipartisan group of Senators is currently working on a bill that would allow DREAMers to remain in the U.S. even if Obama’s executive actions are overturned.

What's fake? I agree there is some speculation, but it's Trump's own words that are creating the speculation. It's no secret that Trump has always bounced around on the issue of dealing with the illegals currently residing here in the United States. He did it during his campaign and he's still doing it. During the campaign he said he was going to immediately end DACA. Now he's saying he's going to work something out that people will be happy with and proud of. In other words, he's not being clear and concise with his intentions. It's understandable that folks, including the media, are speculating on what he has planned.

He's very clear and concise about repealing DACA executive orders, what else does he need to be clear and concise about?

Ending one amnesty program to create another one isn't what most of us had in mind. Working something out could imply that. We'll see ...

There are a still a lot of people in this country who believe the illegals are just those benign poor people who want to work.

They don't know and haven't really seen the destruction of communities and lives of American people.

There has been discussion of the criminals, but not of the millions of others who are causing problems.
